    Hey my friend's audio jack on the VPCS13 (the first full-flat design S with Radeon Graphics, don't know the exact model number, but first gen of the current S if that helps)

    The warranty didnt't cover it for some reason so I've taken it upon myself to fix it for him.
    Does anyone know where I might be able to find spare parts for the S? I tried on ebay but i can only find power jacks and no audio jacks.

    Thanks in advance to all who read.

    Search eBay for "vpcs audio", you will find some for about $13 shipped.

    first generation S with Radeon graphics is SA or SB. you might need to change the motherboard though...unless you're sure only the audio jack is broken and have the tools (soldering iron, etc.) to just change the jack.
